Great Mike. Very informative. Wish I'd had teachers like you back in the day.

Mike,as ever, 10/10 for artistic entertainment. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Awesome videos .. gives me the confidence of tackling these jobs , being disabled and money is always tight . saves me money on garage bills . I like the down to earth approach . keep up the good work . Stay safe , Bud , best wishes from ol' Blighty

I knew you were too professional to have left it the way it was pleasure to watch !

"...round of applause..." Clap Clap Clap! Excellent reference video, Mike.

That was some valuable information! (even more than usual). Loved the panning camera shots too.

I'm addicted to these videos.... Useless info for me and my TD5 but I can't stop watching 👍🏻 I love understanding how things work, so i'm sitting here with a cup of coffee watching a your vids and learning something new, cheers Mike.

Hi Mike. Another great tutorial, clear and concise. Thanks so much for your fantastic explanation. Cheers

Really good instructional video Mike, thanks for that. I've never seen the job done using all the "correct" tools, all the ones I use I've made, even the adaptor for the dial gauge into the back of the pump, but it works fine.

Many thanks on another excellent /entertaining ( or should it be educating ) video. This one covers my next task.

Good video didn't go over the top with details easy-to-follow thanks😁👍

Brilliant professional and no laptop needed

Camera must have had a couple of Jamesons. Another great video. I've got 3.5RV8 in mine so not hugely applicable but very interesting all the same.

Thank you for the info. Keep making these great videos please 🙏

Thanks Mike, this really explained this well. I thought it was black magic before!

you know what Mike, i just may have to send you my pump to refurbish! Awesome job pal. Cheeers!

try a posilock puller. they are expensive but the work very well.

👏 Cheers Mike. 🥃 Again learnd sething new! Thank you. 👍

Your explanation is brilliant! thanks so much

That was very good Mike, it's easy to see how a novice could get themselves in a right state. You should get yourself a keen intelligent apprentice to pass those skills on.....could be part of your pension plan!!

Thank you very much for the tutorial I am going to apply it

Mike I'm quite upset about this video ! The way you explained it I actually understood the whole deal . This won't do !😲👍🏻 Peace and love brother👍🏻☮❤

Another very interesting video.

Thanks for the video appreciate the information

Great explanation Mike. Could you do a video on the essential tools of LR maintenance. Thanks

I used to do the same for Bosch pumps fitted to newholland excavators. But you must be sure that when you set the injection pump piston stroke at 1.6 you are setting it up for output to the correct cylinder. The pump 360 rotation is divided into 4 quarters. If you spin the pump round at any time, without your timing flange it is possible to set it up to inject on the wrong cylinder.

Thanks for another interesting video Mike, that was a very good explanation. I have a little question about the torque of the central nut, you said was 90 nm?? Thanks for all.

Thanks Mike I enjoyed this very much. Could a similar technique be used on a 300 tdi fitted to an automatic discovery?

Thanks

Mike, whats the size of the bolts you used please?

hi Mike, great video. My 300tdi just had a timing belt change. After that it developed an intermittent loss of fuel supply while pressing the accelerator. One day the engine just stops while i was driving as if i was out of fuel. Does it had to do with the timing belt replacement? Hope you can give me an idea. Thank you

The tool you use to lock the injector can be used in place of your 3 arm puller

Can i time my vp44 without a tool...320d preface?

great vid as always mike and perfect timing as need to reset mine can a standard bolt be used to lock the pump shaft or do i have to try and find the special old type like u used many thanks

Mike. 'Muriel from Malawi' strike Four ! Did one remove all that excess black used silicon around the pump faces ? V.

Great video, often wondered how you do that. I’ve got a spare pump condition unknown. Do you know where you can you get the pump shaft locking pitch bolt? Is it in the kit?

Mike Using your technique to check timing on my freshly rebuilt IP for my 300tdi question, as I push through the “power stroke” on the IP, I am seeing higher lift than 1.6, hits 1.6 at my timing bolt slides correctly, but if I continue to turn, (having removed the bolt again) I am seeing the lift go much higher. Is this right?

Hello Mike, a great video as always. I wonder if you could cover something for me which may be beneficial for other viewers as well. When timing a pump you always seem to aim at the setting of 1.54mm lift @ TDC would this be correct for an engine which had the EGR set up as standard as the book says 1.4mm, also if you had an engine originally with the EGR that you had fitted a blanking kit to but retained the original pump which would be the best setting to use? I'm sure your thoughts on this would be enlightening. Thanks for all the work you put in to the video's.👍

So I have a great situation on my series 3 200tdi conversion, After a nice long while of driving, it started to piss diesel down the bottom wade plug hole, I have ordered the bosch ve front seal hoping its the right one. Do I have to bring everything to correct 0 or with this tool I can just take the pump off and fix it and drop it back on the same place ?

I had a similar experience. The pump on my RRC needed replacing and I bought a very new pump from a contact who’d bought a 300Tdi cast by the REME as a non-runner after efforts at fixing it. The reason it didn’t run was that new pump having the flange on at the wrong angle, way off, preventing any chance of setting the injection timing - the engine wouldn’t even splutter, let alone run rough, and I assume the same was true of the Army engine it was attached to, and they had enough of it. I had it reset by a specialist and it ran beautifully.

what is the tool called for removing the pump? Trying to find one online :)

Hello Mike, I have a question for you. In your video at 4:24, you show the tool to draw of and fix the pulley. What is this tool called? I have a Volvo Tamd 41. Do you think I can buy this tool for that engine? Nice video.

Hi Mike great video. That bracket you made was handy! How did you find the measurment for the lift please? Many thanks, Rob.

To make it easier crack of taper then rotate pump with double nut to hold shaft then lock pump slide on taper done

This kind of boss is not easy to get I search for them my whole life

What's it going to take to get that engine up to scratch? Reboring and rings enough?

Mike do you ever adjust the fuelling or modify the pumps?

What size are the bolts you used on the tool to space the pulley?

I got to the stage 15:00 ( video time) My dial gauge pointer went one full revolution and 48 ( nearly 1/2 a revolution gain .. so thats 148 .. so I assume that i have to move the flange 148 in order to line up with the timing pin .

Now set it With the timing at large ( of engine)

Hello again, What was the bolt size ?

Did anyone check out the Brandt BRV made in Bloemfontein SA they do have their own facebook page

Anyone here run their pumps at 1.6mm? How was the performance?

I’ve just turned the engine with the timing pin in, and there’s diesel running over my new timing belt,

fantastic - now did the bloke that owns the landy have a rich relative die yesterday because that was not in his budget - LOL
